NY actress who mocked trooper is arraigned in Dudley court

DUDLEY — A New York actress and stunt driver accused of fleeing a state trooper on Interstate 84 in Sturbridge was arraigned Tuesday in Dudley District Court.

Anita Storr, 63, of 232 E. 78th St., New York, N.Y., was charged with leaving the scene of a property damage accident, failing to stop for a police officer and negligent driving.

She was released on personal recognizance by Judge Timothy Bibaud, and is due back in court for a pretrial hearing April 23.

On Dec. 3, after being signaled to pull over on the highway in Sturbridge by Trooper Jason Trout — who had been told by another motorist of a dangerous driver — Ms. Storr stopped briefly but then drove away, a police report says.

The trooper followed her for about three miles using the blue lights, siren and air horn to urge her to pull over as she tried to close a broken door, he wrote.

She was driving a badly damaged Fiat and was steering the car in a "serpentine" pattern back and forth across the roadway, a police report says.

The Fiat is registered to James L. Moskovitz of Long Beach, N.Y.

The Fiat had damage from the front quarter to the rear that had caused "structural and mechanical damage" that prevented the door from closing properly, the trooper wrote. Ms. Storr allegedly said the damage was caused by someone hitting her.

The trooper followed her to a gas station, where she allegedly told him she thought he had been giving her an escort. She also allegedly told him her portrayals of police officers in her television and movie roles were better than his real-life role as a trooper.

Ms. Storr has had small parts in television shows including "Ugly Betty" and "Law & Order SVU." She also played a prisoner in the 2012 Adam Sandler film "That's My Boy," according to the Internet Movie Database.
